    Having a plugin of related articles is good for building internal links and keeping people on your site, but is it compromising the pages themselves by having anchor text that contain different keywords to the current page?

    What are people's thoughts and preferences on this?

    Are the related articles yours. If so I think it's a good idea the links would have the correct anchor text right?

    Didn't you just contradict yourself?

    Having a plugin of related articles is good for building internal links...

    ...having anchor text that contain different keywords to the current page...

    How would the page be related if they keywords weren't at least somewhat relevant?
